Two high schools in the Tracy Unified School District received bomb threats Thursday for the second time in a week, forcing officials to order evacuations for the second day in a row.

Kimball High School students and staff were evacuated at 1:35 p.m. Thursday after someone called the school and said there was a bomb in a specific location on campus, district spokeswoman Jessica Cardoza said. Students were instructed to go to the school’s football stadium until they were allowed to leave when the school day ended at 3:30 p.m., Cardoza said.

Officials at Tracy High School instructed their students to leave immediately as school let out about 3 p.m. Thursday when, for the second time in two days, someone found graffiti in a boys’ bathroom containing a reference to a bomb on that campus, Cardoza said. Those threats were similar to one at Kimball last Friday, when someone found an unspecified threat written in graffiti in a bathroom, Cardoza said.
